The Rosedale Diner
The Rosedale Diner has been winning over Rosedale locals since 1978. The National Post thinks their burger is the best in Toronto. They also have free WiFi.
Honest Ed's at the corner of Bloor & Bathurst.

I think some people just have a craving for processed, un-local miscellaneous scraps of "meat" and plastic filler. Plenty of cheap options out there for someone with that palate. Don't think I have to mention where to get those. It costs them more and so you have to pay more. Thats the way it works when a place supports local farmers.

bad service
bad food
worst capu
& not so clean (desperately need to be sanitized)
clearly its a mega crap in a great spot.
BTW the burger tasted like it was frozen "since 1978"
my GF took me out for my birthday.... i think it was my punishment (i forgot hers!)women pff, (BTW; not my GF any more)
worst birthday ever.
Unless you are some sort of sick and obsessed person, avoid The rosedale diner at all costs.
The service was also terrible. This place would do so well with nice warm and welcoming servers. Instead you get a pretentious, cold, humorless host and a whiny sniveling waitress.
Would go back for the Steaks again if the servers were changed to better people.

The Rosedale diner isn't haute cuisine, but it's friendly, charming and the food is good value. That "snivelling" waitress (as far as I know there's only one) is about the nicest server we've ever had. Try the Caesar salad, the duck confit poutine or the steak.
Honestly, these posters are the kind of people that make me want to flee the GTA.
As far as the food, the Bison burger was tasty and a neat idea with the pita bun and do-it-yourself type toppings. The garlic fries were tasty, BUT gave me the worst garlic breath which persisted after numerous mouthwash rinses and toothbrushing. However, the flavour was good on consumption.
My biggest complaints: Extremely expensive for what you're getting ($16+++/burger, Garlic fries and most toppings extra $1.50/2 each. AND.... having an extremely sick waiter who would wipe his dripping nose and then proceed to touch everything, like handling the brims of fresh drink cups, plates, menus. The realistic worry of disease unfortunately heavily outweighed the benefits of this cutesy diner.
A fatty, Matty
